This week Democratic Governor Roy Cooper issued an Executive Order to "accelerate the state’s transition to a clean energy economy." The order directs the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality to establish the North Carolina Advanced Clean Trucks Program that would propose rules to require truck manufacturers to sell more zero-emission trucks in the state. The order requires the N.C. Climate Change Interagency Taskforce to conduct a needs assessment over the next year of zero-emission vehicles, charging stations, the cost of electric charging, and other fuel sources.
